Hello m171616! Welcome to our place. I wish you´ll enjoy so much participating here. I love my 14060m. In my opinion the last of the classic Submariners. I´m very fond of the Explorer 2...

... as well.
I have been wearing my 14060m in daily office work, vacationing at seaside and in sport scuba diving which was the purpose it was made for. A superb reliable and tough watch as all Submariners. Having perforated lugs is a plus for an easy changing of bracelets or straps.
Regarding the long F: you know we collectors always like to find something different in details of our watches. The long F was used in a short run of dials making for a little delicious detail to have but not an important thing for me when looking for a 14060m. I will always prioritize the condition of the watch above all other things.
If you search our site you´ll find some posts made in the past explaining in more detail about the long F on these dials. Write: long f submariner 14060m and several posts will appear.
I would suggest this one for starts: www.watchprosite.com
The long F was used only in a short run in 2007 only when the dial changed from the original two liner to the four liner COSC version, which makes for a rare variant of dial indeed. You got one of them.
The Explorer 2 is a very interesting watch in any of its references. I´m very fond of them too and choosing between an Explorer or a Sub is just a matter of personal taste. But if you intend to use your watch in water or diving the Submariner is the best choice to have on the wrist.
I wish you´ll keep loving and enjoying your beautiful watches! Best, Abel
